Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, you have to cut off his head. It's the only way to be sure.

I give you points for escalating the geekery (for extra points, who can link Christopher Lambert to Sigourney Reese in the fewest steps?) but that will only show you something if there's an immortal in range to be quickened. Shooting him in the heart will kill him if he's not immortal, but only stop him for a while if he's not, no matter who's around.

t claims geek-escalation points, dances jig of geekery

but that will only show you something if there's an immortal in range to be quickened. Shooting him in the heart will kill him if he's not immortal, but only stop him for a while if he's not, no matter who's around.

True 'dat. Fair point.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Go ahead, be shocked.

*is shocked*

No wait - what's the opposite of shocked?

I have sandwich fixings in the office fridge and absolutely no desire to make a sandwich out of them and eat it. Stoopid frugality.

I boggle that for my accounting cycle, February is a 5 week month. I mean, WTF.

I know! And I had a minute of joy when I thought it was a month when I would get paid 3 times (it's an every two week cycle) but I'd misremembered when I'd gotten paid last. feh.

I hate being paid every two weeks. My brain refuses to make the adjustment from the last job, and I'm being passive aggressive about it and using that as my "excuse" for not having a clear budget. I should just suck it up and declare myself amnesty (like sara and her teeth) and start fresh for 2008.

There is a luncheon that will happen soon in my building. Nice sandwiches and fruit. But, they probably won't eat until 1 or 1:30, and I have to wait for them to be done before I scavenge, so I wouldn't be able to eat until 2:30 at the earliest, I'd think. Damn, gonna have to pay for lunch.

It technically is for me, but the big benefit is really from things skewing so that I pay February's rent out of my January 18th paycheck. And then have my whole Feb. 1 check to put toward credit card debt. Yay?

Yeah, I would have been screwed because of Christmas if I hadn't been paid three times this month. God looks out for fools and children.

Punishingly Intricate

Next time I get paid three times in a month is May...if I'm reading the calendar correctly. Nice! I'm planning on going out to CA at the end of that month I think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Who else here gets paid once a month?
